Carrie
Europe
Caroline Caroline... for those who do not know it, Carrie is the diminutive of Caroline. Doesn't sound like the original, does it?
Anyway, one of the most powerful power ballad of all time is "Carrie" by the Swedish band Europe.
The song tells passionately about a farewell that a man gives to his own woman and that it might be presumably the last one.
The song itself does not give much more clues about the plot, but it is supposed to refer to the departure of a man to Venus, since the album that the song is part of tells about this travel: "The final countdown".
Verified "Carrie" 's lyrics and chords are available below.
